1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) are treated the same way in this policy.
When you first visit TripMeet, we show you a banner where you can choose which categories of cookies we may use. You can change your choice at any time (see Section 4).
2. The Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the Services to function and cannot be switched off. They include:
| Cookie / Storage | Purpose |
|---|---|
tripmeet-language | Remembers the interface language you selected |
| Session/authentication cookies | Keep you signed in and protect your account |
| Security cookies | Help detect and prevent abuse and fraud |
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent.
2.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Services so we can improve them — for example, which pages are most visited and where traffic comes from.
We use Google Analytics 4 ("GA4") for this purpose. Analytics cookies are loaded only after you give your consent on the cookie banner. Google may use the data collected to evaluate your use of the Services and compile reports; Google's own privacy policy governs its processing, and you can opt out via the tools Google provides.
2.3 Marketing cookies
We currently do not run marketing/advertising cookies. If we introduce advertising or social-media pixel tags in the future, we will update this table and seek your separate consent before they are loaded.
3. How to Manage Cookies
- Cookie banner: use the preference controls on our website to accept or reject analytics (and future marketing) cookies, or to change your choice later. Your preference is stored on your device.
- Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies and similar storage. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the Services (for example, staying signed in).
- Opt-out tools: where our analytics provider offers one, we link to it in the banner or this page.
4. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the cookies we use change (for example, when we add a new analytics tool). Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
